Protest by Tibetan Monks in Nepal

Posted on March 21, 2008

Sirensongs brings some disturbing pictures and news of monks being beaten up for protesting against China in Nepal.

The Nepali boys went straight for the one monk of the three protestors – -with large 2×2 wooden sticks raining blows.

“Don’t take pictures! Don’t take pictures!” they yelled at anyone with a visible camera. Then, “This is not a place for protest! This is our God-place! Do not protest here!” in English. Which to me, sounded very rehearsed and conspicuous. In English? The attackers were local Nepali boys (from the Tamang community, if it matters).
